Deus ex machina (Latin: [ˈdeʊs ɛks ˈmaː.kʰɪ.naː]: /ˈdeɪ.əs ɛks ˈmɑːkiːnə/ or /ˈdiːəs ɛks ˈmækᵻnə/; plural: dei ex machina) is a Latin calque from Greek ἀπὸ μηχανῆς θεός (apò mēkhanês theós), meaning "god from the machine". The term has evolved to mean a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object. Depending on how it is done, it can be intended to move the story forward when the writer has "painted himself into a corner" and sees no other way out, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending, or as a comedic device.
The term was coined from the conventions of Greek tragedy, where a machine is used to bring actors playing gods onto the stage. The machine could be either a crane (mechane) used to lower actors from above or a riser that brought actors up through a trapdoor. Preparation to pick up the actors was done behind the skene. The idea was introduced by Aeschylus and was used often to resolve the conflict and conclude the drama. Although the device is associated mostly with Greek tragedy, it also appeared in comedies.
Ex Machina is a portion of the phrase deus ex machina, meaning 'god from the machine'.
Ex Machina has been used for:
Deus Ex is a cyberpunk-themed action role-playing video game—combining first-person shooter, stealth and role-playing elements—developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive in 2000. First published for personal computers running Microsoft Windows, Deus Ex was later ported to Mac OS systems and PlayStation 2. Set in a dystopian world during the year 2052, the central plot follows rookie United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition agent JC Denton, as he sets out to combat terrorist forces, which have become increasingly prevalent in a world slipping ever further into chaos. As the plot unfolds, Denton becomes entangled in a deep and ancient conspiracy, encountering organizations such as Majestic 12, the Illuminati and the Hong Kong Triads during his journey.
The game received universal critical acclaim, including repeatedly being named "Best PC Game of All Time" in PC Gamer's "Top 100 PC Games" in 2011 and in a poll carried out by UK gaming magazine PC Zone. It was a frequent candidate for and winner of Game of the Year awards, drawing praise for its pioneering designs in player choice and multiple narrative paths. It has sold more than 1 million copies, as of April 23, 2009. The game has spawned both a sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War, released in 2003, and a prequel, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, released in 2011.

When that happens a story often relies on a device called "deus ex machina" or "god from the machine" and a previously unseen or obscure force comes in out of nowhere and saves the day. More than just getting the characters out of danger deus ex machina can also serve to tie up loose plot ...

Mankind's mirror metaphor
In kind devotion's wage
Mankind's mirror metaphor
In kind devotion's wage
Kindly kill my craving core
This night you'll come of age
In His name
Creation of shame
Innocence in no sense
Behind these walls in slumber deep
Unrepentant timeless sleep
Dormant lies the naked sheep
To fall from grace
Endlessly weep
When mend means break
Virtues mistake
Incarnated eternity
A blur of moral clarity
Thy servants bear thy serpent
On thee their backs they turn
Enlightenment bears all umbrage
Lord, thy bridges burn
Penetrated armor
Infiltrated harbor
Word to flesh to power
Evil's birthing hour
Ruthless stomps come cracking you
Dark and light ex machina
Thy servants bear thy serpent
- Black the hearts embraced
On thee their backs they turn
- The Angel leaves its place
Enlightenment bears all umbrage
- Obscurity to earn
Lord, thy bridges burn
Extinct instincts impending doom
Obligation freedom menaces loom
Worlds and borders transcendent orders
He who sees the wrong and right sees thy only bridge ignite
Mankind's mirror metaphor
Kindly kills my craving core
When fight means world
When straight lines curl
Where terror reigns
Where wisdom pains
Where see means mourn
Where dead means born
The bastard child won't learn
